    Many people claim they already have their fair share of 'lost' programmers and don't need any more....

          You will find all the details in the standard 'Instruction Manual CivIII' page 237.

          You should read your manual more carefully...

                      A pity I'm still a couple years from my degree.

                        A simple degree won't cut it. Looks like they are looking for a seasoned guru - they do need one to get back on track. I never got my degree (aside from a general AA), but I have three years programming experience, and 2 certs with a third coming down the pipe and if theses are the real requirements I might as well apply for an intern position!
